The astute observer will notice a new Magic of the Ordinary page, “Resources”. There we will collect all links to the various Aura and other papers we have plonked up lately. You really should look, as thanks to Simon and Emily who have slogged over scanner and keyboard, there are some new ones
THANK YOU
We’ll update the resources page as we can, so leaving this main page for the classical Blog experience – me raving on about something or other
Since WordPress does not allow tagging extra pages though, I’ll put in the various tags about the material here. If your search or click has brought you here, click on the resources page and download happily. Thanks
"We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured." ~

How does my spiritual practice and daily life serve the earth?
How does my spiritual practice and daily life affect the poorest third of humanity?
How will my spiritual practice and daily life affect the generations to come in the future?

“For most of us, however, we only think seriously of food or sex or money when it becomes a problem, which is to say when we feel we are not getting our share. When we find ourselves in that situation then I regret to say that meditational visualisations are really not the best way to remedy the lack. … We are here in a physical condition in a physical world and while in that state we have to abide by the laws appropriate to it.”
"The biblical texts have been strained out through a Greek/Latin mindset, which is very surface and static. I sometimes think it would have actually have been better if Western culture had based so called "Western religion" on Greek philosophy, rather than middle-eastern, because then at least you'd have all one thing. It would be eternally consistent. But what we have now is sort of half of each. And you're left with a basically schizophrenic tradition."
